@triffic_stuff_ It doesn’t matter anyway because none of Reforms supporters can watch QT. They all proudly boast that they stopped paying their licence years ago.

@paul080666 @Mofoman360 Technically any MP can become the PM.
Historically they even had Lords as PM.
All you need is the “Confidence of the House” and the the King will invite you to form a Govt.
In practice that person tends to be the leader of the party with the most MP’s but it doesn’t have to be

@umerpashtoon Since the Day of Judgment is not a thing we should be more worried about man made dangers.

@erasmus_binks @samm50647 @implausibleblog There may be no treaty but as a Commonwealth nation arrangements do exist to enable extradition.

@PeetePigskin The discovery (in the sense of scientific proof) of the cause and treatment for scurvy was made by a Scot working for the British Navy.
The derogatory name “Limey” was used to describe British sailors because the ate citrus fruit to combat scurvy.
So the Brits were the smart ones

@samm50647 @implausibleblog If Bangladesh have solid evidence of said corruption other than her just being a relative of a politicial enemy of the current govt, they could seek extradition. Has that happened?

@LukaMoric14 @CrewkerneMan The Aberdeen by election is a clear one off.
It’s not surprising that in an oil town the Tories were able to stir up an anti SNP vote. This had more to do with the Scottish Govts green policies than anything happening at Westminster.

@robinson_mi5 @floboflo Britain Unbound - who appear to be the sponsors of this poll, are an extremely enthusiastic pro Brexit outfit so I would take this poll with a grain of salt. I don’t think The Observer would go near this group to find out what the nation as a whole think of rejoining.

[Ewan @Ewan__Ferguson]

@floboflo 41% that’s a high number.
Given that in general 1% of the population die each year and there was a COVID Bump of, let’s say, an extra 1% in the elderly age group that gives you 11% of those who could vote in 2016 would have been expected to die.
It’s been a brutal 10 years!

@blow_left @Bobjstoneharbor @amelia_tweetz Every Four years, the leap years.

@DJ_Stotty @donmcgowan Since Farage has been unable to give a consistent, satisfactory explanation for the money it is open to debate what the purpose of the funds were. Therefore the media questions and the investigation are relevant.

[Ewan @Ewan__Ferguson]

@TonyHuby85220 @justdavenow89 Technically speaking we don’t even do that. We vote for an MP to act as our representative. They affiliate to parties but the PM is decided not by which party has the most MP’s but by who can command the confidence the House of Commons.
That person is then invited to form a Govt.

[Ewan @Ewan__Ferguson]

@DJ_Stotty @donmcgowan You are meant to declare anything received in the 12 months before you are elected.

@hotwings100 By resigning Starmer has given up his right to be on this ballot.
In general MP’s don’t tend to be nostalgic about wanting ex PM’s to return and most stand down from their seats at the next election. A notable exception was Ted Heath who stayed on as a back bencher for many years

[Ewan @Ewan__Ferguson]

@alansdove @archer_rs The truth would be nice.
Believe it or not most people trust the newspapers not to make things up.
I’m not talking editorial points of view here, it’s blatant porkies churned out on almost an hourly basis and hiding under an online mast head.

[Ewan @Ewan__Ferguson]

@alansdove @archer_rs He doesn’t mean the BBC or C4.
But the Telegraph and Express post spurious stories on social Media and Google home page, often several times a day telling us of nothing new but “it’s bad news for Starmer or Labour”
Over the last 3 days they have already shifted it to Burnham.

@r0chase @MattCrivelli The Gulf Stream does not bring warm water up from the Gulf of Mexico.
This current is warm Atlantic water.

@Aularmy @PopBase They are counting from the 2015 election.

@Michael81797224 @floboflo @ChrisMasonBBC @UKLabour We don’t choose PM’s.
In the end it is MP’s who do that. Sometimes party members also have some say.
But the most a normal voter can do is vote for your local MP and if they are in the majority party, trust that they will choose appropriately.
